Cousin Creative Circle

I'm so thrilled to be continuing on as an Ambassador for the Cousin Corporation for the 2013-2014 year! There are now eight of us and we are all so happy to be part of this together.

You can find links to everyone's blog or webpage on the right sidebar. They're a great group with diverse design styles and lots of fun!

We all took a trip to Cousin headquarters in February 2014, for more details about the trip and the company, you can find all three blog posts here. Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3.

Thanks for taking this journey with me and allowing me to share all of these experiences with you on A Bead A Day! It makes it so much more fun and meaningful!!

In August 2012, I was very honored to have been selected as one of five "Creative Circle Ambassadors" for the Cousin Corporation through July 2013.

This is the inaugural year for the Creative Circle program and they have done an impressive job of pulling all the details together and welcoming us to the family...yes, I have some new cousins, yay!

Each month the five Ambassadors will given a jewelry making project using Cousin products. I'll be sharing my journey with you here on A Bead A Day.

My first official jewelry making assignment is to create a piece using only materials from the giant box of beads they sent me AND...using the state of Florida as inspiration!!
My first unofficial bracelet project is shown on the left. When I saw these beads in the box of products they sent me I couldn't help but make something to represent this new "creative circle" journey. :)

I hope you will all feel free to comment, ask questions or throw out suggestions along the way. By the way, Cousin gives away beads every week on Facebook, make sure you check it out!
